Place caramels and heavy cream in a medium sized bowl.
Microwave on high for 1 minute.
Stir and then microwave in intervals of 20 seconds, stirring well after each time, until caramel is smooth.
Cool for about 5 minutes.
Arrange half of the Ritz crackers on a baking sheet lined with wax/parchment paper.
Place about 1-2 teaspoons of caramel on half of the Ritz crackers. It should be enough to cover the cracker but not so much that it spills over the edge.
Top each Ritz with another Ritz.
Place baking sheet in refrigerator and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.
Melt almond bark according to package directions.
Dip each Ritz cracker sandwich in almond bark, shaking to remove excess.
Place back on baking sheet and immediately sprinkle with sea salt.
Let cool until almond bark is set.
Enjoy!

Store these in the refrigerator in an airtight container for up to 7 days.
Dip with a fork for cleaner results - placing each cookie on a fork and letting excess chocolate drip off makes the final surface smoother and prevents pooling.
Let them set up on parchment paper, not a rack - cooling on parchment, wax paper, or a silicone mat gives you clean bottoms; a rack can leave marks or cause sticking.
Add toppings immediately - if you’re sprinkling flaky sea salt or festive sprinkles, add them while the chocolate is still wet so they adhere perfectly.
